This one actually is a blog... yeah
Nostalgia Candidate my first book is a collection of 3 short stories/essays, do read it, I am sure you will find something of value in the book. Progress has slowed a lot for both my videos and my upcoming game. By God's grace, I have a job now, so that takes up my time, still I will keep working on videos and exciting new projects. I am still very interested in creating video essays, with some ideas already being worked upon, so main channel will remain relatively active (I'll try one video a month, hopefully). Also the short stories channel ? Yeah that's probably done, I realized I jumped on an algorthimic bandwagon and honestly those one minute videos never give the satisfaction of making a longer, well thought-out essay. This blog will keep being updated btw, but I do it only a few times per year after every major project release. For keeping up-to-date with ALL my latest works, recommendations and more, check out my journal from the website homepage. I appreciate you all being here, please take some time out to relax and medidate. Don't be in a rush and enjoy the process. That's all for now, take care and see you all in the next one. - Rahil Blade December 31st 2021
In my last post I had said that I would announce my next game around May or June. However, the game is not ready yet. Currently most of my time is spent on searching for a full time job and as a result my personal projects have taken a back seat. So the progress of my next video essay and game is certainly slow. I will release the game when it's ready, no doubt about it. And I can only show it off when I am confident of the final product. At this time I have created a new channel called Rahil Blade Stories focusing on short videos. It's an effort to keep my creative side active while I look for this job and so far it seems to be working. I am still writing, working on multiple upcoming projects while searching for work so videos/projects won't stop but progress is slower that usual. That's all. Thank you for all the support, like always everyone who even takes interest in what I do motivates me to make more stuff and tell more stories. Take care and I'll see you all in the next post. - Rahil Blade June 29th 2021
I had started making Video Essays from January this year to keep me busy and productive at the same time. I have been uploading them on a semi-regular basis while managing other projects. In all honesty it's a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun. So yeah the plan is to make more. In regards to the development of my 3rd game, it's going really well. I will probably reveal something about it around May or June. This project is extremely special to me and I don't want to rush it. So till then hope the video essays Keep You Company (Got the reference?) and when the game's ready you'll know about it. - Rahil Blade March 24th 2021
I had updated this on the game's official page: Rahil's paradox my first game has been delayed indefinitely. RP was my first project and I had made a lot of mistakes during it's development, now that I am getting better as a programmer and a game developer I want to make sure that the game represents my skill level at the moment, that obviously will take time, but I'm 100% sure you will be able to experience RP again. I have grown attached with that game and definitely want to make it better before I bring it back. Meanwhile, I am working on an entirely different new project. It is a story based narrative driven exploration adventure game that I have been working on for the last few months. The game has entered into phase 4 of it's development and I still have lot of stuff to work with before it can be released. I want to thank everyone for their support, anyone who looks forward to my work and encourages me to do better. - Rahil Blade December 23rd 2020
the last brain cell is a game I made in around 48 hours for the Unexpected Game Jam. This was my first game jam and at the time of writing this, the submission are still open. The games haven't been rated yet, but frankly speaking I was inspired by the challenge of trying to make a fully playable game within the specified time limit. If you are concerned about Rahil's Paradox, don't worry. I am still working on it. In the meantime play the Demo, play the last brain cell. I have put a lot of effort in both games. - Rahil Blade September 13th 2020
The demo for my game is out now! Please play it I want to talk more about it. But, I want the game and it's world to speak for itself. - Rahil Blade July 31st 2020
The modern world has become obsessed with numbers -"hey look i have 100 Million followers" we get lost in this number hunting world to the point where people who support us or enjoy our works are treated not as individuals but as Numbers. It's obvious but this is a bad practice, our natural ego wants recognition for our work and we validate that with a number... Instead cherish and bond with the people that support you, make content for them, try to bring them joy and make them forget about their troubles, even if it is for a fleeting moment. And know that your work contributes to the whole, even when nobody is watching. - Rahil Blade July 3rd 2020
The art of patience is something that is quite weird to understand. There are multiple parallels of the same vision. Either you are waiting for the right time or hey maybe you were a little too patient and the right time just flew by.... It's hard to get adjusted to this cycle, it's hard to understand when and where you let go and just take a chance. Right time or not you gave it your all, you may fall flat right on your face, but who is stopping you from making a comeback. I am worried about the man who tries too much and too hard on every single passion he has... at the end it's always termed a failure. An ever aching thought at the back of your mind and a universal question arises ... "Should He let it go or will he get lucky this time ?" - Rahil Blade July 2nd 2020
Been working on a small little project, will talk about it soon. Enjoy this boring blog till then lol.
